how to make horseradish with the root s of the horseradish plant

Question

how do I make horseradish from the roots  of the horseradish plant.  When can I plant more horseradish?  thanks   Judy

Answer 1

when the leaves are brown and on the ground.  Old farm wives say to harvest in month that ends in R.

Dig the root and peel it like a carrot then run it through a metal meat grinder. (It ate a ring around my plastic food processer)  Then immediately mix 1 cup of ground root to 1 cup of vinegar.   It doesn't usually need replanting as root pieces left in the ground will multiple and sprout.  I do nothing to my patch except harvest in the fall and the patch gets larger every year.
